Abstract

Conjugate addition reactions using the simple Li[PhMe2SiCuI] reagent to a variety of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is described; dimethyl sulfide from the purification of CuI plays a key role for very high yields as well as high stereoselectivities in the formation of beta-silyl carbonyl compounds.
